About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

“Those who support Donald Trump should no longer be allowed to publish books or use the Internet or fly on airplanes.”
So here I am again posting something that Tucker Carlson said. Once again, I think he nailed something. You’ve been warned. From 7 January 2021 with my emphases and comments. Within minutes of Trump supporters breaching the U.S. Capitol building … Continue reading
“If you don’t bother to pause and learn a single thing from your citizens storming your Capitol building, then you’re a fool…”.
I’ve been pretty unhappy with FNC for some time now. However, tonight I tuned in to hear what Tucker Carlson had to say. He made some really good points. I sincerely hope that people will listen to this or read … Continue reading

More bad news from the Vatican. Wherein Fr. Z rants.

ASK FATHER: I have heard of “Apostolic Pardon” but “Apostolic Blessing”?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: I have heard of “Apostolic Blessing” — is that the same thing but with a different name (eg: “reconciliation” == “confession” == “Sacrament of Penance”)? I’ve written about the IMPORTANT Apostolic Pardon quite a few times. … Continue reading

Wherein Tucker cites Viganò about the Wuhan Devil
Tucker Carlson last night mentioned Archbp. Viganò. Perhaps he can be excused for mispronouncing his name. His point is good. A friend let me know about this. I stopped watching Fox after “Election” night.

The best thing I’ve seen, so far, about the infamous McCarrick Report: ‘Status quaestionis’ and sign posts for reform.
Sadly, I have found so far one of the best examinations of the infamous McCarrick Report. My own stomach-turning look at the Report left me with the impression that whoever assembled it had the primary objective of shielding Francis through … Continue reading

Priests, lay, can pray this until the election is officially resolved: a binding prayer again evil
